Bisol Brut Prosecco Superiore, Valdobbiadene, Italy (Tim)

This wine celebrates the tradition of this family that has been tending vines in Valdobbiadene since 1542. Valdobbiadene is widely considered to be the premium location and the best vineyards for growing Glera, the grape that makes Prosecco.  “Crede” refers to the clay dominated soil.  This beautiful Prosecco is heady with wild flower aromatics, and elegant with notes of apple and pear on the persistent, rich finish. With 7g/l residual sugar, this sparkler straddles the border between dry and off-dry.

Anton Bauer 2017 Berg Feuersbrunn Riesling (Andres)

Anton Bauer is the fourth generation of his family to be running the estate, taking over from his parents after years of training in Burgundy and Lower Austria. He received the prestigious “Winemaker of the Year” award in 2017 by Falstafff.

Featuring fresh stone fruit and mandarin notes and racy acidity, this is the perfect aperitif to serve on a warm spring evening or paired with a spicy meal.  This wine has about 5g/L residual sugar, placing it in the upper end of the “dry” category.

St Cosme Little James Basket Vin de France, Rhone, France (Pat)

Chateau de Saint Cosme is an excellent producer located in Gigondas, where they produce outstanding Gigondas and Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines. In contrast, this delightfully simple table wine is still delicious but a small fraction of the cost of the premier bottlings. Made from 100% Grenache, this wine utilizes the unique solera method, where each bottling contains 50% of the current harvest and 50% of the solera containing wine from each harvest over the last 20 years. This introduces depth and complexity to this wine that exudes cherry, strawberry and subtle spice, the palate soft and easy to drink.  Try with pizza or chili.

Serol 2018 Eclat de Granite Cote Roannaise, Loire Valley, France (Jen & Jerry)

Stephane Serol and his wife Carine took over this 12 hectare estate in 1996, when they converted production to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The Cote Roannaise AOP is located at the foothills of the Madeleine Mountains in the Loire Valley, boasting higher altitude and granitic soils, ideal for growing the Gamay grape. This Gamay spends 7-10 months in cement tanks, seeing no oak.  With notes of strawberries, dark red cherries and just a hint of cranberry brightness and earth, the very soft and elegant mouthfeel makes this a red that can be enjoyed with fish, poultry, and pork. This could be a fun alternative to Pinot Noir if you are looking to try something new. Certified ORGANIC and BIODYNAMIC
